slithered out of his skin and right back in!

last night I watched my 5 y/o Amel shed his skin from start to finish. The skin came off in 3 pieces: about 4" of the front, then about a 48" piece, then the last 2" of tail. When completely out of the skin, I watched him circle around in his viv and then he went right back into 48" piece of the skin and slithered though it, coming out the tail of the skin! I wish I could have videoed it, it was so funny to me! Anyone else experience this?

That is too funny! I think there was a post here that someone had the same thing happen to them, I guess he took off his coat and decided it was too cool in the house!
 
That's the thought I had too-like he was crawling back into his coat. Of course his warm hide is at 86F and the cool one at around 70F and he spends about equal amounts of time in each so I think he's pretty comfy in his viv. :bounce:
 
I was always under the impression that corn snakes were very uncomfortable when they were in shed, which is why they hide all the time as vision is impaired and moving around is just uncomfortable with all that dead skin about to come off. I can't imagine why they'd want to get back into it! lol
